Anklets have been a fashion trend in the West for a long time. But before that, they have a significant value in India. It was and still has been an important ornament for Indian Women. They have been worn by women literally for centuries. Popularly in India, it is known as payal, having a great spiritual and social significance rather than just a fashion trend.
